OneTrust, the platform helping organizations use data and AI responsibly, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Databricks, the Data and AI company, with the launch of its new Data Policy Enforcement product integration. The integration enables data governance teams to automate data policy enforcement with Unity Catalog and keep up with the speed at which AI-driven systems process and utilize data.
AI doesn't wait for manual approvals — it operates in real time, meaning that governance mechanisms must be just as fast and seamless. Some datasets are open access, requiring little to no oversight, while others, like personal data, must be governed with accuracy, purpose, and consent. Organizations need the ability to predefine conditions, rules, and policies that regulate AI-ready datasets. This includes creating and monitoring data contracts that explicitly define how data can be used based on the purpose of use, as well as regulatory and privacy frameworks.
“OneTrust is solving the enforcement challenge for data teams, automating governance by transforming regulatory, compliance, and privacy policies into scalable, machine-readable code,” said Blake Brannon, Chief Innovation Officer at OneTrust. “As innovative organizations put Databricks at the center of their data intelligence strategies, our integration enables them to enforce policies in real-time and apply governance dynamically within the data processing infrastructure. With OneTrust and Databricks, joint customers can accelerate data use for AI initiatives while ensuring continuous compliance and reducing risk.”
